The four dates next summer will be the first UK shows for Foo Fighters since headlining the Reading and Leeds Festival in 2019.

Frontman Dave Grohl said: “We can’t wait to get back to the UK.
“It’s been far too long. Get ready to make up for lost time with some long rock and roll nights.”

The Manchester show is supported by St. Vincent and Loose Articles.
The group, consisting of Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee, was founded in Seattle in 1994 shortly after Nirvana broke up after Kurt Cobain’s death.
Since then, they have won 12 Grammy Awards, released 10 studio albums and topped the charts with songs like Best Of You, All My Life and Pretender.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, August 20th at 9:00 a.m.
